We get 87 as regular, 89, and 92 (sometimes 93) as premium. You guys don't have it too bad for gas prices. Most places outside US tax the hell out of gas (Europe & Japan especially). Better than Premium is pretty rare, usually it's only available at special gas stations or race tracks.

Ours have been falling too. Just last winter we almost hit $3.00/gallon! People were freaking out, but in perspective we really didn't have it that bad...

I really don't know much about NZ. Rhys Millen, Kiwis, Sheep, Moaris...
I met this girl in Army Basic Training who was Moari and Korean. She was really cute, hell, she was HOTT! But she lived in Guam and all she knew of NZ was her dad came from there. Oh did I mention she was hot?

Oh, and Rhys is a NZ native who rallys a Lancer Evo VI in the states.

Mad 323... can I get you to mail me some Jaffas? I have this craving for Jaffas ever since I left NZ. Can't get Jaffas anywhere but NZ.
